Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems

A Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems (CIS) from the School of Media and Design prepares graduates to find meaningful and interesting careers in the fast-growing information systems technology field.

Organizations need knowledgeable employees comfortable with computer hardware, software, and networking. Graduates of the CIS or the Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security Systems (CSEC) program will be able to plan, design, construct, and explain the secure operations of computer systems and networks to both technical and non-technical audiences. They can also select, install, configure, program, protect, administer, and apply applications and computer systems to aid organization managers to make informed decisions and support their missions.

The B.S. in Computer Information Systems is a 120-hour degree program designed to prepare students with the technical, interpersonal, ethical and industry knowledge they need to become information systems professionals. The CIS course curriculum incorporates the best guidance from professional organizations, regional businesses and national level recommendations for technical curriculum development. This enables our curriculum to reflect current and leading-edge knowledge and skills. The CIS program also continues to incorporate emerging technologies and practices of the global environment in which we live.

The CIS and CSEC majors share foundation and advanced courses in computer hardware, networks, telecommunications, operating systems, programming, website development, database systems, systems analysis, and management of technology and IT personnel. The theoretical knowledge and experiential skills covered in both degree plans provide students a foundation for multiple career paths in these technical fields.
